Nurturing, tender care is what we apply to our own lives; so we are to love both ourselves and our wives. The Lord so loves us with loving kindness to help us grow and thrive in Christ. As part of His body, I am loved and cared for - so must I strive to do for my wife as Christ does for His Church!
Ephesians 5:28-30
28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.
